16. Glossopteris is a fern-like plant
that lived 250 million years ago.
It was found in rocks in Africa.
Australia. India, and Antarctica.
The seeds of this plant could
not have been carried by the
wind and are too fragile to
survive an ocean trip.
Fossils of the reptiles separated
by an ocean that they could not
have swum and the widespread
occurrence of the fern’s fossils
supported his hypothesis of
continental drift.
